conditional addition based on checkbox

[Former Community Member]

I have a field that adds the values from several other form fields.  The question I have is how do I add another 2 if a certain checkbox is both visible and checked?

Hi,

You would need an if/else statement that looks at the value of the checkbox.

This could be in the calculate event of the field that displays the answer:

var tempAnswer = numericfield1.rawValue + numericfield2.rawValue + numericfield3.rawValue;
if (checkbox.presence == "visible" && checkbox.rawValue == 1)
{
     tempAnswer = tempAnswer + numericfield4.rawValue + numericfield5.rawValue;
}
this.rawValue = tempAnswer;

You would need to change the object references, etc, but it should give you a structure to work with. We have examples here, some of which include objects with calculation scripts: http://assure.ly/eEPuCM

Hope that helps,

Thanks.  I thought it was something like that, but couldn't quite get it right.
